Smells like a successful day to me! :) I had a really crazy, ultra fabulous day. It's 10:15 PM and I just sat down to dinner! Dinner was really, really lame as a result: Blackberry jam and Barney Butter on WW toast. Snacks included orange around 1 PM: Granola, strawberry, flax, and yogurt at [...]

Quick work break to say hello! :) Around 10:30 AM, I was struck by the munchies and had a bar: Lunch was one of the simple Caitlin creations I've been relying on so much lately: Roasted baby yellow Dutch potatoes (there is no "trick" to roasting these potatoes, I just slice, coat in olive [...]
I woke up with enough time to have a dance party in my living room: Plus, I squeezed in some strength moves: 100 sit-ups 30 push-ups 40 chest flys with 3 lb weights (all I have!) And I watched Entourage. So funny. Best part was when E told his overbearing girlfriend: "You say [...]
WOW! You guys love the WaterPik giveaway, don't you? It is a pretty sweet giveaway with an excellent chance to win -- so enter now! Today was a *blah* day. As mentioned, I worked for a freakishly long time (and I'm actually still working, just taking a blogging break). Considering I spent 11+ hours [...]
So sorry I didn't blog lunch! I felt lost without you! I just pulled a totally unawesome 11 hour day, and I'm actually going to the computer for more work. No rest for the weary, folks! I'll be back for dinner, I swear. However, I'm going to make it up to you.... (Please ignore [...]
Good morning! I went to bed early (skipped Entourage) and woke up late (6:45 AM), and now I feel so much better. After a 6 miler on Friday, intense yoga on Saturday, and 13.1 miles on Sunday, I needed the extra rest. The week can begin now! Breakfast: The *star* of breakfast was [...]
Hey everyone! This is the new and improved HTP. We're working on transferring over all the old blog posts this morning... come back soon, and HTP will be up and running entirely. :)
Now that I've had a few hours to decompress from my bad run, I realize that it's really part of a larger issue: I've hit the Week 6 Slump. Since July 26, I've run 175.09 miles, 67.04 of which were in the last month and 26.1 were in the last week. I'm entering Week [...]
Make it all better! After blogging about Hellish Half Marathon run, we jumped in the car to drive about 1 hour to see my aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandpa. Along the way, we stopped at Starbucks and I ordered a Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte: When we got to my family's house, the cousins [...]
With the exception of a few injury-inducing runs and runs during which I peed myself/vomited, I think I can say that this was one of the worst runs ever. I know I have a reputation of being Mrs. Brightside (and I really am like that in real life). But just like everyone, I had my [...]
Our plans fell through for tonight, but that's OK with me. I need more unplanned evenings! I decided to take a long, leisurely walk with the puppies: My little man is so good: Look at those chompers! A boy asked me if Maggie was pregnant. I think that means it's time to cut back [...]
I debated going on a bike ride this morning, but sleeping in with the fur children sounded soooo appealing (Husband is out of town). I woke up naturally at 7 AM, clocking in a delicious 8.5 hours of sleep. It was wonderful to sleep in -- I didn't really realize how tired I was until [...]
Night In: I'm watching Sex in the City Season 3, painting my toenails, and relaxing after a really, really long week. It's a nice night off. I have yoga in the morning with Ryan! Yay. Have a nice evening!
Lunch came early: I had veggie soup: And crackers, hummus, and sugar snap peas (which were really plump and delicious!): Oh, and a cookie: Let's Talk Labels Meghann, Megan, and I had a conversation about feeling guilty for eating meat. Now, Meghann and Megan are not vegetarians (but they don't eat meat-focused diets) and [...]
